3 weeks to go!! (Not that I’m counting or anything 😝)
There’s nothing more that I love than having an incentive.. something to work for! It just gives me that extra motivation and buzz to get to the gym and I’m lucky enough to have a holiday to Spain to look forward to in 3 weeks time!
I’ve been busy bikini shopping.. decided to treat myself to some new ones this year for losing all of last years baby weight 🤷🏼♀️ any excuse right!! I’ve been loving it, there’s so many pretty designs this year.. do you think I like stripes?? ⬇️😝. One little tip for bikini shopping whilst I’m here is that if you’ve got thick thighs like moi size up on your bottom half to stop that hip hang over 🙌 best advice you’ll receive!
So here’s how I plan to get ‘bikini ready’ or more like ready to smash back all the holiday food I can while I’m there 😜. Week 1 (this week) i will be preparing my body for the hard work so I won’t be pushing it to the max.. barely any cardio, flexible eating with no stress and getting all the carbs i can to fuel the next few weeks 😝. I don’t want to burn out, start craving and crash in the last week before I jet off. Come next Monday (week 2) it’s crunch time for the last two weeks, 3-4 days of at least 20 mins cardio after weight sessions, no skipping sessions!! 2 ab sessions a week without fail and eating to compliment my training (depending on what body part I’m training that day) for example if it’s a rest day I will have low carbs. Let’s call this a mini cut 💪🏼
Why? Because 1.) I like a challenge, it keeps me motivated 2.) I like to feel my best, to have a boost of confidence and last but not least 3.) it gives me lots of extra room for holiday carbs 🙌🙌
If you follow me on Instagram (if you don’t then head over to Livvygoodland_fitmum and give me a follow) you’ll know that I recently had a week ‘mini cut’ and from the results it shows that it doesn’t take me long to get rid of those little bloated areas so I know this will work for what I want to achieve ☺️.
Before I go let me tell you this though.. there is no such thing as a ‘bikini body’ all bodies are beautiful.. I was not ashamed when I was bigger after having my children, I was not ashamed when I wore a bikini with my pregnant bump! No one should think they have to look a certain way. Do what you want, look the way you want as long as YOU are happy ☺️.
